What is a Pre-Approved absence?
A pre-approved absence must be requested 5 days prior to the absence. This request is used for major life or family events, sport travel, to participate in sports, college visits and other extra-curricular activities. Before approving the requests, school administration will consider the student’s complete attendance record including excused, unexcused, disciplinary, or other absence types. Academic standing is also considered for approval. Students must submit a pre-approval request form and a note written by a parent with a reason for the absence. The form must be signed by all teachers and turned into the office for submission to the assistant principal or principal.
Pre-approved absence forms can be picked up in the front office.
